Major Clubs Are Worth Barrels of Money i SPARKLING SPORTLETS.! Washington, D. C., Nov, 13 Suc cessful as was the season of 1906 in baseball, it will not, for many reasons, be n marker to that of 1907. It was not so very long ago that the croakers were predicting the doca- denro of the sport. According to them the sport .was going backward, and It ywould not bo long'before It would go it© rack imd ruin. 'Tell me," you would Bear one say, "is baseball os prosper ous as It used to be? Do many people turn out to attend the gumea?” - Nothing like lost season was ever Jfnown. The Chicago National League •dub earned over 1100,000, the lurgest profits over recorded, and far above anything that ever happened during the ’ Hart regime. People marveled ihat the club ahould have over been allowed lo go for such a sum as 1105,- Igto.-so.thst It virtually paid for Itself In a single season, and there Is no doubt that the next seneon wilt be equally as successful.

At one 'time “this club could have been pur- ! chased at a very low price, and Its present owners secured It for a nomi nal stone, and It la safe to say that the aaralngx of the past three seasons huve f been 1150,000. The Boston Nationals have cleared saver *100,000 lit u single season, and ths outlook for 1907 Is lietter than It ■ has been'for years. The new owners propose to make the tdant look belter than ever In the hls- • t*ry of the club and to conduct their i business In a thoroughly up-to-date •manner.
